FREE CEU OPPORTUNITIES
The West Central District CEU event for July will be held on July 20, 2012. The event will be a presentation with Ron Tyler from Family Core. He will be presenting on community-based services. Remember that a CEU event is scheduled for the third Friday of each month. The events are held at the Methodist Atrium building in Peoria from 9:00 to 10:00am. So far, these events have included good information, great discussions, and a wonderful opportunity to meet other NASW members. Events are free. Non-NASW members may attend for $10 to cover the cost of CEUs. Please come join us for good information and conversation.

THIS MONTH'S CHALLENGE
I have heard from some people that would like to have events scheduled in other areas of the district. I would be happy to work with anyone in the district to schedule additional CEU opportunities.
